Hello folks! Today I have a restoration and a total rescue of the shashka! I don't even know where to start. In short, this is a non-statutory shashka sword of the 19th century, produced in Western Georgia, the type of shashka is Caucasian.

Now, was some "master" trying to make a katana out of this unique item? What?! Serious? Why? I was in shock. But, well, it's time to save the item and restore the shashka as it should be!

The first duty, I began to analyze the "handle". It wasn't easy, but I was lucky that the previous "master" didn't know how to use welding, so it took me 3 hours to do everything.

Next, I used a rust remover, then washed, dried and oiled.
Tang, then I had to go to the workshop to a friend because it took semi-automatic welding. The shank was made from a piece of steel plate of the same width and thickness, initially it turned out to be long (with a margin). The groove-to-groove fit method. Then, at home, I corrected the shank. I changed its length and shape, added holes and started sanding.

I started sanding the blade with sandpaper from 80 to 240 grit. The goal is to clean up slightly and at the same time leave traces that have appeared over time. After finishing polishing the shashka sword, I moved on to the handle.

The wood was chosen by beech, the method of cutting a groove under the tang of the shashka. Brass rivets with washers, epoxy glue. The handle was processed, and in the end covered with a black matte varnish for wood.

The scabbard was made of wood, processed mainly by hand. At the end, I sharpened it on a sander machine. Pasted over with black natural thin leather. The accessories of the scabbard were made of brass and at the end of it was darkened with a balistol in order to give an old look.
As usual, I conducted an interesting test of Caucasian shashkas. I hope you enjoy this restoration video. Please don't forget to like and share your opinion and this video!

Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!

It’s a crime you don’t have more subscribers. No ads. No sponsors. Just hard, beautiful work.

Где-то читал...
Хороший оружейный мастер на Кавказе, мог делать кинжал или шашку, пол-года и больше! А, получив за свою работу деньги, мог прожить со своей семьёй год!
Уверен, реставрация такого же оружия, должна стоить не меньше!
А, за маленькую, короткометражную постановку в конце, отдельное спасибо!
Ну, Грузия фильм, всегда славилась короткометражками! Которые я и сейчас смотрю с удовольствием...✌️☺️🇬🇪

Привет Мастер!
Удивительно, что при таком, изначально отвратном внешнем виде, клинок кинжала, фактически не пострадал от коррозии!
Однозначно, проведенная тобой процедура очищения и возрождения завершилась ожидаемым результатом!
Прекрасно восстановленный прямой, с ромбовидным сечением и строгой отделкой, этот кавказский кинжал, и сейчас сможет украсить национальный костюм отчаянного джигита! Настоящего смельчака, гордого воина и непобедимого бойца!
Успехов тебе Мастер, и до новых встреч!

I love when you make stuff with an intentional vintage look!! And when you bend and cut materials by hand similarly to how it might have been made years ago.

Wow, what a restoration! That thing was a mess at first but you did an outstanding job as per usual. That test was the most fun one yet, it was a cool skit! I remember my Russian mother telling me a story about how in Georgia they have those horn cups so that you have to finish your drink before putting them down
